Spicy Paneer Pakoda | Cheese Fritters Recipe

Million Dollar Cheese Fritters or Instant Paneer Pakoda Recipe

And when I say this is the ultimate Paneer Pakoda recipe you need in your life, I mean it! Because it meets every criteria that is expected from a festive party snack recipe. It is quick, basically needs simplest of all ingredients and gets done in the least of all times.

What I am going to share today is the spicy paneer pakoda recipe that has a fantastic filing inside. So, basically what I have done is sliced my chunk of Paneer i.e. Cottage Cheese into thin slices and then further cut then into equal square pieces. Then I sandwiched two slices with spicy-garlicky filing that added a hint of flavor to these deep-fried cheese fritters.

I have tried this recipe in both ways, one by using ready-to-use sundried tomato and garlic dip and another by making my own filing. Honestly, if you have any savory spread at your end, do make a good use of that as the filling otherwise I am giving you the recipe to make your own filling for paneer pakora recipe for evening snacks.

This Paneer Pakoda with filling recipe is perfect for the weekend parties where you need to serve a crowd. You can even prep the paneer sandwiches a day ahead and store them in the fridge for the party day. Then all you have to do is to dip them in the batter and fry them. This stuffed Paneer pakoda recipe is also a great way to make creative dishes like curries where you can dunk these pakodas in a tomato based gravy. Someday I will share that recipe as well, but today let’s get on with the Paneer Pakoda recipe.
